I am reading it now. I am about halfway through. It is quite the page turner.

I bought it after reading this post a few weeks ago, inspired by my recent trip to Prague. It adds to my enjoyment that I can picture exactly where most of these events take place.

ETA
Towards the end of the book (page602) a scene takes place at our hotel, the Hotel Augustine. Brown calls it a former 13th century monastery but it fact it is still a working monastery with a few monks still living there. Part of the complex was turned over to Marriott which converted it into a luxury hotel.

Bump- I'll finish it today when I go home for lunch. I thought it was really good, and a little scary to think that even some of the research might be true.

I'll also add that after reading other authors, Brown's ridiculous 3 page chapters are infuriating when jumping back into his writing. I'm pretty sure you get past chapter 40 before you even hit page 100. It's just infuriating to read a book like that, imo.


This is my favorite part of his books, actually When I'm fixing to put it down and I look and see the next chapter is only 3 pages, I'll keep reading

I stumbled on this website while I was googling what a chengbaobaby was. Langdon's World

I bought the illustrated versions of DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons and have been disappointed that his other books did not come with that option. I've had this website open on my phone since Chapter 3.

Thanks for sharing that. I love to look up the different locations and those kind of things during those books. I need to read Origins before I get into the newest but I'll bookmark it for later.
